On a AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), ARK: Survival Ascended runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 45FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 6600M (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and ARK: Survival Ascended is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 45 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 42 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in ARK: Survival Ascended at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 45 | 60 |
| 1440p | 27 | 62 |
